A clinical and neuroradiological 6-month follow-up has been scheduled to assess the stability of patient's condition; [4] , but we cannot even exclude a direct role for HIV in the demyelinating process. Based on our experience, a treatment with cyclophosphamide may be a valid alternative in steroid-resistant HIV patients with TDLs. Author contributions SML contributed to paper conception, data collection, analysis and interpretation, literature review and paper drafting.
